Abstract: Abstract We initiated this research coming from the European experience regarding the role of culture in imagology, détente, and conflict prevention. The paper starts presenting the theoretical reflection on cultural industries as a conflict prevention tool, the eventual role of European integration as a potential model, and some conceptual clarifications. Then are exposed some case studies involving cultural industries and industries with cultural content and their role in the process of international relation’s search for “win–win” formulas and reconciliation. Further, the article provides arguments for the way technology as such as an “Industry with a cultural content” can be an act of culture with re-conciliatory effect. Further, questions on how to translate cultural features into modern desirable products and how those products used in their daily life may create further “bridges of communication” in international relations are addressed. We also argue that the capacity for cultural persuasion of industries with a cultural content seems to be stronger than the one of cultural industries as such being generated by a world where economic interests and the “language of money” prevail the “language of politics.” One of the several conclusions is that the simple exposure of good quality culture or “art for art” without political expectation, just for the genuine pleasure of sharing cultural values may have a stronger re-conciliatory effect.
